There was very limited animation. There were lots of repeated frames. These were some cool parts to the fight, but there sure was a lot of not-fighting in the episode. I look forward to seeing how this fight ends.

Holy crap, watching 3 eyes move independently of one another was really weird. Good episode.

So far this tournament is much more intense then the last one, 3 really good fights so far. I really hope Roshi can win but I know he probably won't sadly. Looking forward to seeing how this one ends.

Ohohohoho, has Roshi finally met his match? Maybe he's right, he's going to finally start feeling his age.

After the timeskip, before the tournament started.

I thought this was really cool stuff. Though, yeah, I can only imagine what these fights would be like with more up to date animation.

Animation is notably dated, it doesn't live up. Fortunately the raw intensity of this fight makes up for it. No other fight, as far as I can remember, has been this close. It's a slug fest and it's awesome. I totally get why a lot of peoples favorite character is Roshi.

Surprisingly, Goku's analysis were good when it comes to fighting. He knew the entire time that Tien could keep up against Jackie/Roshi.

50 episodes to go!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Woah, this fight is shaping up as intense, so far. As I suspected, Tien is truly giving Master Roshi a praiseworthy fight. The last time Master Roshi was getting this wounded up was during his match with Goku ages ago. Master Roshi, despite being hailed as a legendary figure by the entire world, still has the will to grow even stronger and test his skills against exceptional fighters. That's one of the things I respect about him.

Tien's third eye, despite not holding any superpowers at all, it can still be utilized for extra surveillance. That's interesting, Tien appears to be human but, last time I checked, humans don't have three eyes. Just what is his story? Anyhow, I am still rooting for Master Roshi to deliver the win. But Tien is extremely well-talented, like Goku, in many ways. Just the fact he is matching Master Roshi, of all people, says the whole story.

Speaking of Goku, unlike Krillin, he can get pretty analytical when the situation calls for it, or when he brings himself to care. Krillin just takes it at face value, so that's one thing to note in regards to the difference between the two.

This fight is getting seriously intense! I was really not expecting Tien to be as powerful as he is - to even be able to compete with Roshi in the slightest. If Roshi loses this, it may even put Goku in danger.

Jackie Chun's performance wasn't good enough. It looks like he is having a real trouble. Even Goku was easier for him last time. This fight may not be much enjoyable but too intensive. I hope things doesn't get brutal.

Goku understood Tien. This guy is is stronger and had a big advantage of flying. Last time we saw that Goku imitated all the moves of his opponents and also modified them. But this time this flying stuff looks impossible to imitate. Goku now actually has a challenge for him.

After seeing this part of this match I would say Yamcha was lucky that he was able to fight evenly with Tien. This guy is much more.

Now it is all up to Goku.

The animation was pretty disappointing compared to even previous fights so I'm guessing that they're saving budget for future episodes. I'm guessing that 1. Tien is gonna find a cheap way to win and 2. Roshi will be outed as Jackie-chun

So he’s actually evenly matched this time, Goku is stronger than Roshi now, so he shouldn’t have trouble with this once he gets there.
